The Becalmed in Me..Finally

If all days would only be as peaceful and calm as today! Well, why not eh?! I felt like I was “in control” of every tic tac moment…No, not the in control like wanting to manipulate circumstances or people…But the “in control” that holds a sense of knowing what to do…like not freaking out inside…..no anxiety…..a possessing of calmness from within…becalmed.

Having decided to let go of a lot of cobwebby’ baggage in my mind did this to me. Plus the inspiration of accepting that I have outgrown some beliefs I used to own…releasing of fear from wanting and needing to belong to a person….to a group…to a community…..to the status quo…Just determined to never again let individuals or events determine my line of thought, my actions and even my emotion…I finally feel free at last…

And with this decision came the inspiration to honestly look at myself…the me inside the me…like observing outside the box….the inner self seeing my outer self and saying it’s okay….I understand…..things will work out…you will make it….you are special…..you will live your purpose….you won’t fail…

So I tried my best to live purposefully today…up to this moment…..and up to the moment I turn out the lights tonight….a kind of meditative living..trying to be conscious of each event…of each thought…no matter how trivial…how mundane…how routine and plain it is to the world. It wasn’t easy….but I tried my best….I smiled more often…greeted someone a happy birthday…..shared a couple of sandwiches…hugged someone…hugged my dog too…settled an argument between a group of five year olds…spoke to a teenager having problems…taught adverbial phrases…taught Homer too….And later…to prep dinner…to hug my hubz’…tuck in the boys….and finally…sip a glass of wine.

I guess….for the first time in a long…long time…I’m allowing myself….to sincerely tell myself….

I did well.

luxie,

you've probably always done well on almost any given day. granted we all have our off days.....but who wants to talk about those? the maturity and growth within a person comes when one realizes that one has done well instead of always berating what one has not been able to accomplish.

It is what it is all about and I agree it comes with maturity that you can see an even less perfect outcome as a step in the right direction... but why is it that some days it is sooooooo hard to tell yourself that and others it is like the lightbulb turns on and you can see clearly?

Snosparkle: Welcome!..glad to have made you laugh a bit..and I am soooo striving to be "becalmed" everyday...It is gravely difficult considering the number of circumstances that can just rub you off the wrong way...little scenes that weigh down and drag you back to being frantic...sigh!..I would have to blog about something drastically unsettling...

Kate: I hope to hop on your bloggy' later for a cool read...days of less pefect outcome are more of the norm for me...gosh...how I wish I could sleep each and every night without even a tinge of worry that I have to do this..and tat needs to be done tomorrow..or I should have done that..or drats..why didn't I do this instead of that...I'm trying..trying..trying...though..just trying...yah'..
